Negan & Lucille are back in the season 2 teaser for The Walking Dead: Dead City

As a longtime fan of The Walking Dead, I’ve seen my fair share of twists and turns, but the teaser for Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City has left me both excited and apprehensive.


As a long-time fan of “The Walking Dead,” I was absolutely thrilled to witness the exciting unveiling of the teaser for the second season of “The Walking Dead: Dead City” at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Having closely followed the developments in the original series, I could hardly contain my excitement as the teaser began with a hauntingly familiar whistle and the ominous sound of metal scraping on concrete.

Many people weren’t taken aback too much by the news that “Dead City” was filmed in Massachusetts and spoiler content emerged online since this wasn’t an unexpected development. However, some individuals were taken by surprise.

In the first season, Maggie (Lauren Cohan), in an attempt to secure her son Hershel’s (Logan Kim) release from the clutches of a former Savior named The Croat (Ċ½eljko Ivanek), struck a deal with Negan. However, it appeared that The Croat held the reins of power in post-apocalyptic Manhattan. By the season finale, though, it was unveiled that The Dama (Lisa Emery) was the true powerbroker. A formidable figure, she demands obedience and speaks bluntly.

Dama spoke with Negan at her court, sharing her doubt that he was real and not just a creation of The Croat’s mind. Despite his leadership position among the Saviors, she held him in great esteem. She invited Negan to join her in controlling Manhattan’s criminal underworld.

The whistle, Lucille, and Negan’s authoritative presence in the teaser suggest that Negan, the Savior’s leader, might make a comeback. The church seen in the teaser is St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Could this be their new hideout?

In Season 1, it’s unclear from the storyline how many other gangs exist in Manhattan besides the Dama. The implication is that she aims to bring them all under her control to rule supremely. However, she requires an individual with remarkable confidence, fearlessness, charisma, and political acumen for this task. This person is none other than Negan.

Why might Negan think about returning to his old behaviors after putting in so much effort to change himself? In their conversation, the Dama explains her reasons for assisting him. Before finalizing the deal to release Hershel, she cut off his pinky toe as a warning that “I can come back for more.” Despite Negan’s past misdeeds, he won’t stand by and let a child get injured if there’s anything he can do to prevent it.

The Walking Dead: Dead City will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
